Kicking focus mitts?

Question

Okay so i wanted to get some thai pads for accuracy training but its like 100 bucks for one so i decided to go for focus mitts. How hard can i kick focus mitts.

Answer 1

YOU CAN KICK THEM AS HARD AS YOU WANT... BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE HOLDER...  YOU WILL ONLY BE KICKING WITH YOUR INSTEP BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SIZE OF THE FOCUS MITTS.  I DONT' THINK THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO CATCH SHIN...I HAVE SEEN IT DONE BY PROS THOUGH.

IN THE FUTURE YOU SHOULD INVEST IN THE THAI PADS... THEY ARE BETTER FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. AND BETTER FOR THE HOLDER.  

Answer 2

You can kick them as hard as you like, but your training partner may not appreciate it. They will make you pay closer attention to your kicks and really work on your accuracy.

Next time I'd say go with the thai pads, they are more heavy duty and will save your partner some abuse and they will hold up longer. Both the pads and your training partner.
